Benchmade NRA Hinderer 154cm OR 440c

[qualm]

Hello all,


This is my first post here, and it seems to be the place to ask questions about blades. So I was looking at the Benchmade NRA Hinderer and noticed that some places sell with 154cm steel, and others sell with 440c steel. which is the better blade. I will be using for camping / hunting abd skinning.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I tried to search, but every time ended up on a blank white page. maybe I did something wrong.

154CM is generally considered the better of the two, all else being equal.

If you get stuck with 440C, you've still got good steel,
so don't let that be a deal-breaker.

Old thread I know but my knife say D2 steel on the blade...

I have very good experiences with Benchmade 154cm.

Surprisingly durable.

I have 2 of the nra 12550 limited edition knives and both say D2 on the blades and I read people say the steel is 440C or 154cm... I researched on Google and could not find conclusive information,perhaps they used all 3 steels... Mine are numbers 0133 & 0234...
